Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
! Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windshield can scratch the glass
if wiping takes place when the windshield is
dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always use
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
! If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been washed
in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-
dues may be the reason for this. Clean the
windshield using washer fluid after washing
the vehicle in an automatic car wash. Combination switch

! Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the windshield
becomes dirty in dry weather conditions, the
windshield wipers may be activated inadver-
tently. This could then damage the windshield
wiper blades or scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch off
the windshield wipers in dry weather.
Vehicles with a rain sensor: in the 0062or0063
position, the appropriate wiping frequency is
automatically set according to the intensity of
the rain. In the 0063position, the rain sensor is
more sensitive than in the 0062position, caus-
ing the windshield wiper to wipe more fre-
quently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield will no longer be wiped properly. This could prevent
you from observing the traffic conditions. Switching the rear window wiper on/
